Being placed in a position of abject fear is an unlikely choice to de-stress. But one Indonesian centre is now offering snake massages, which they claim help alleviate stress by taking your mind off other day-to-day worries. While clearly not for everyone, the staff at Jakarta's Bali Heritage Reflexology and Spa may have a point.
